The Cosby Show fans have spoken, and their favorite Cliff Huxtable threads were revealed Monday during a sweltering, far-from-sweater-weather morning.

Bill Cosby appeared on TODAY to make the announcement, along with a reprimand for TODAY’s Willie Geist, who erroneously kept referring to the contest as a vote for the “ugliest” sweater.
“They haven’t been voting for ‘ugly,’ Willie. It’s not like a baby contest,” the legendary comedian said. “It was the sweater that the people liked the best.”
The knits that Cosby wore on the iconic television series became well-known for their variety and, on occasion, their questionable fashion sense.

The winning sweater competed against 31 other knits and emerged from “The Argyles” division. The other categories were “The Cardigans”, “The Pullovers”, and “The Cashmeres.”
To commemorate the occasion, along with Cosby’s 76th birthday last Friday, the TODAY anchors had a gift for Cosby.
